How do you toggle Isodraft off?

[haines.300]

I have been having this problem for some time using various editions of LT, now on 2024. I can click the Isodraft button on the on the bottom bar and can use F5 to toggle Left, Right or Top. But when I want to exit Isodraft and go back to Orthographic I have to open Drafting Settings and click the button for Rectangular Snap. I have tried searching online for a solution but they all seem to say "its EASY, JUST click on the Isodraft button to toggle it off." But that doesn't work for me, what am I missing?

Here is a screen shot showing my workspace.

Its the button on the status bar shown below

Yes, I know and use that button. But when I click on the Ortho button nothing happens. Clicking on the ISO button the fly out just shows the toggle option of Left, Right, or Top. Clicking on the ISO button does not deactivate it.

That's what you ask. ISO ON/OFF toggle.

It does! It turns Ortho ON/OFF (ortho is independing and available in isodraft and not iso draft mode.

Clicking on the ISO button the fly

Clicking on the ISO button does not deactivate it.

Not the fly out, just the main button toggle between iso on/off

If you are trying to toggle while in command?, it is not possible (isodraft is not available as transparent command call).

 I have to open Drafting Settings and click the button for Rectangular Snap.

No, just turn isodraft off (and if your ortho is off, turn it on)

That's it. If it doesn't work on your side, there is a special issue with your installation.

1. The problem is present all the tim, also directly after you start ACAD LT?

2. If you isodraw and ortho is set to ON

    What happens if you toggle from status bar ACTIVE to <click> DEACTIVATED

    Does the Button looks like deactivated?

    Does the crosshair still displaying isometric?

 ?

[cadffm]

If the button doesn't look deactivated after you clicked:

close LT

Run Reset settings to default

Answering the first question with YES and save the current settings.

Start LT

and IF there is an option to migrate settings from previous version, deselect all / cancel.

Test the statusbar toggle again now.

Since none of us usually have that issue, why not share a problematic DWG file here for us to see your work, and also post a screenshot of the ABOUT command inside your LT2024 program too please.

TIA

The flyout gives you options but if you click on the button and not the flyout (just left of the flyout arrow on the image of the crosshairs) it turns it on and off.

Well, Doh to me! I just assumed the flyout was attached to the Iso button. There is no such thing as a stupid question right? Thanks, this has been frustrating me for months!
